Yeah.  I already have the NTFS drives mounted in /etc/fstab for all 
users.  I had assumed you meant r/w support tho.  Too bad...

And the thing with synaptic is that not all the packages (especially 
some of the source only packages) have descriptions.  ...At least, not 
descriptive ones.  And I need to know a little bit about any 
dependencies it might have, what features it provides, what features it 
doesn't provide, etc...

And there should prolly be a good kernel installation reference guide 
for people who are new to the entire idea of compiling kernels.
